The seventh round of the Premier League in handball did not include big surprises, but we certainly won a huge drama in the top game between the second in the table, AS Ramat Hasharon, its host and the third in the table, Hapoel Rishon LeZion.
At one point it seems that the team from the wine city is one level above its opponent and went down to half with a promising 11:16 advantage.
The trend continued in the second half, when Rishon LeZion reached a record advantage of 6 goals (15:21) in the 40th minute, but there something went wrong with the host.
Only nine minutes passed from the record advantage until the scoreboard showed an amazing 24:24, after which the game continued close until the end, in which the teams divided the points between them with 29:29.
Stefan Ilyich led the conquerors in Rishon LeZion with 11 goals, while Eden Ginji was the leader at Ramat Hasharon with 7 goals of his own.
The leader, Maccabi Rishon LeZion, did not have a hard time at home against Bnei Herzliya and won 24:33, making the escape in the second half. Nadav Nizri and Niv Zoref led the winners with 5 goals each.
Ben Liberty scored 9 goals for the loser.
